Questions 5 11 are based on the following text.
The White Butterfl yAn old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the cemetery of
the templeof Sozanji. He was extremely friendly and generally liked by his neighbours, though
most of them considered him a little mad. That was because he was very old but he did not want
to get married.He did not have the desire for intimate relationship with women.One summer day
he became very ill, so ill, in fact, that he sent for his sister-in-law and her son. They both came
and did all they could to bring comfort during his last hours. While Takahama fell asleep, they
watched a large white butterfl y fl ew into the room and rested on the old mans pillow. The

young man tried to drive it away with a fan; but it came back three times, as if it was very loath
to leave the sufferer.At last Takahamas nephew chased it out into the garden, through the gate,
and into thecemetery beyond, where it lingered over a womans tomb, and then mysteriously
disappeared.On examining the tomb the young man found the name Akiko written upon it,
together with a description narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb
was covered with moss and must have been erected fi fty years previously, the boy saw that it
was surrounded with fl owers, and that the little water tank had been recently fi lled.When the
young man returned to the house he found that Takahama had passed away,and he returned to his
mother and told her what he had seen in the cemetery.Akiko? murmured his mother. When
your uncle was young he was betrothed to Akiko.She died shortly before her wedding day. When
Akiko left this world your uncle resolved never to marry, and to live ever near her grave. For all
these years he has remained faithful to his vow, and kept in his heart all the sweet memories of
his one and only love. Every day Takahama went to the cemetery, whether the air was fragrant
with summer breeze or thick with falling snow. Every day he went to her grave and prayed for
her happiness, swept the tomb and set fl owers there.When Takahama was dying, and he could
no longer perform his loving task, Akiko came for him. That white butterfl y was her sweet and
loving soul.
